FS::cust_bill - inherits from FS::Record. The following fields are currently - supported: - - invnum - primary key (assigned automatically for new invoices) - custnum - customer (see the FS::cust_main manpage) - _date - specified as a UNIX timestamp; see the section on "time" in the perlfunc manpage. Also see - the Time::Local manpage and the Date::Parse manpage for conversion functions. - charged - amount of this invoice - owed - amount still outstanding on this invoice, which is charged minus - all payments (see the FS::cust_pay manpage). - printed - how many times this invoice has been printed automatically - (see the section on "collect" in the FS::cust_main manpage). -METHODS - create HASHREF - Creates a new invoice. To add the invoice to the database, - see the section on "insert". Invoices are normally created - by calling the bill method of a customer object (see the - FS::cust_main manpage). - - insert - Adds this invoice to the database ("Posts" the invoice). If - there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns - false. - - When adding new invoices, owed must be charged (or null, in - which case it is automatically set to charged). - - delete - Currently unimplemented. I don't remove invoices because - there would then be no record you ever posted this invoice - (which is bad, no?) - - replace OLD_RECORD - Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If - there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns - false. - - Only owed and printed may be changed. Owed is normally - updated by creating and inserting a payment (see the - FS::cust_pay manpage). Printed is normally updated by - calling the collect method of a customer object (see the - FS::cust_main manpage). - - check - Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid invoice. If - there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns - false. Called by the insert and replace methods. - - previous - Returns a list consisting of the total previous balance for - this customer, followed by the previous outstanding invoices - (as FS::cust_bill objects also). - - cust_bill_pkg - Returns the line items (see the FS::cust_bill_pkg manpage) - for this invoice. - - cust_credit - Returns a list consisting of the total previous credited - (see the FS::cust_credit manpage) for this customer, - followed by the previous outstanding credits - (FS::cust_credit objects). - - cust_pay - Returns all payments (see the FS::cust_pay manpage) for this - invoice. - - print_text [TIME]; - Returns an ASCII invoice, as a list of lines. - - TIME an optional value used to control the printing of - overdue messages. The default is now. It isn't the date of - the invoice; that's the `_date' field. It is specified as a - UNIX timestamp; see the section on "time" in the perlfunc - manpage. Also see the Time::Local manpage and the - Date::Parse manpage for conversion functions. - -BUGS - The delete method. - - It doesn't properly override FS::Record yet. - - print_text formatting (and some logic :/) is in source as a - format declaration, which needs to be slurped in from a file. - the fork is rather kludgy as well. It could be cleaned with - swrite from man perlform, and the picture could be put in a - /var/spool/freeside/conf file. Also number of lines ($=). - - missing print_ps for a nice postscript copy (maybe HylaFAX- - cover-page-style or something similar so the look can be - completely customized?) - - There is an off-by-one error in print_text which causes a visual - error: "Page 1 of 2" printed on some single-page invoices? - -SEE ALSO - the FS::Record manpage, the FS::cust_main manpage, the - FS::cust_pay manpage, the FS::cust_bill_pkg manpage, the - FS::cust_credit manpage, schema.html from the base - documentation. - -HISTORY - ivan@voicenet.com 97-jul-1 - - small fix for new API ivan@sisd.com 98-mar-14 - - charges can be negative ivan@sisd.com 98-jul-13 - - pod, ingegrate with FS::Invoice ivan@sisd.com 98-sep-20 - |
